I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Saintia remained silent, but turned over three cards in succession.

However, unlike the previous two cards, these two cards have clear human figures depicted on them.

The first two cards are both depicted with the theme of being unflowered – the first one is dark red, almost black.

A pink-haired girl wearing a black gothic dress that seemed to be shrouded in embers and blood smiled. The halo behind her, which was as dazzling as a pink nebula, disappeared, and in its place was a ring that resembled a black hole, symbolizing devouring and annihilation.

"This card reveals the cause and effect of the destruction I have heard about."

[XX. Judgment]

The second card was also undrawn.

However, unlike the previous card's almost chaotic style, the card with the unflowered figure looks fresh and refined, sitting in a pure white 'framed sculpture', holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a letter with heart-shaped sealing wax in the other.

"This card reveals the twist in the ending that I felt."

The third card is even more interesting—it shows someone sitting cross-legged at the tea table, slightly lost in thought, resting their chin on their hand, gazing at Nagisa in the distance.

"This card reveals the loneliness and confusion that followed."

【The Priestess】

The High Priestess in reverse...

Amamiya rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

The fox-eared girl didn't disturb her, but silently watched Amamiya, who was lost in thought, through the flickering candlelight of the candlestick placed in the middle of the table.

Only after Amamiya finished her contemplation did she tap the table with her knuckles hidden under her long sleeves.

“Sensei…how about it?”

"...I guess I did get a lot of information that I wanted to know."

Amamiya flexed her knuckles, and her pupils regained their clarity.

As she rose to leave her seat, Amamiya slowly began, "One last question..."

"I know what you want to ask."

Saintia stood up before he finished speaking and interrupted him by slightly speeding up her speech.

"But please forgive me for not being able to answer this question."

She deftly picked up an unrevealed card from the table and handed it to Amamiya.

The card is clearly centered on her, and its meaning is quite complex.

【X. Wheel of Fortune】

[...I sensed the anticipation emanating from Saintia.]

In that instant, Amamiya heard Ravenda's unique sound of establishing bonds, completely different from how she formed relationships with other students.

"I am you, and you are me."

"Here you receive a new covenant."

As the saying goes, "Sever the past to gain wings for the future."

The wheel of fortune will become the beacon of the future.

"I will walk alongside you through the darkness ahead."

"Here you are granted the destiny of your dreams."

"I grant you boundless power..."

For some reason... Amamiya felt that Ravenda's tone in the lyrics this time didn't sound as ethereal as before; instead, it sounded a bit sullen, as if she was sulking.

'Even Saintia gets this kind of unique treatment...'

Amamiya clicked her tongue in amazement, thinking that Seiya was already the fourth person to receive the special treatment of having completely different lyrics, after Hanaya, Himari, and Rion.

These students receiving "special treatment" all seem to point directly to the student council president, or some particularly "key" special figure...

"Go for it...Sensei."

The fox-eared girl smiled meaningfully and winked at Amamiya.

"I look forward to...your 'special performance'."

My favorite part in Chapter Two is Little Yi Chui Chui!

As the lingering dream faded away along with Saint Ya's fading farewell, dawn broke.

Amamiya yawned and slowly got out of bed.

Now that's great... there's another 'cyber ghost' I have to search for in my dreams every day.

After letting out a sigh, Amamiya changed into Xia Lai's uniform as usual and began to handle the tasks assigned to her by the Federation Student Council that day.

After arriving at the office with his tablet and phone, Amamiya first made himself a cup of coffee.

While waiting for the student on duty to arrive, he sipped his coffee and asked leisurely, "Arona... who's on duty today?"

The screen on the pedestal suddenly lit up as if Xiao Ai (Xiaomi's AI assistant) had been awakened, and then a sea-blue girl wearing a white headband with her hair ribbons fluttering appeared from below the screen, bouncing around.

"Hmm... Sensei didn't assign any cleaning duties today... Well then, let Alona take a look..."

After a rustling sound of papers being rummaged through, Alona let out a soft "Ah!" and then announced energetically, "Today's student on duty is Iroha Natsume from the Pandemonium!"

Iroha...

Is she the petite girl with amazingly thick red hair who, ever since adding me as a friend, has been sending me a selfie every day to 'deepen my impression'?

...By the way, when was her file added to Xia Lai's student file?

Amamiya casually placed the empty coffee cup next to her desk and glanced back at the page about Sharai that Alona had provided.

Then he discovered that Xia Lai's file page had quietly gained several more students.

Kaede, Julie, Iroha... these students from the Pandemonium were prominently featured.

"Sensei~?" The AI ​​girl smiled innocently. "How is it~ Alona has recently collected some very interesting student files~ She has already helped Sensei complete the file organization!"

Seeing her cheerful smile that made everyone happy, Amamiya couldn't help but reach into the Shitei no Hako space and pinch her cheek as always.

"Hey~ Sen, Sensei, what are you doing?!"

The AI ​​girl, whose cheek was pinched, let out a pitiful yet adorable wail.

"Honestly... always launching surprise attacks like this, Alona will get angry~"

【~???~】

After interacting with Alona for a short while, relaxing a bit, and successfully receiving the harsh words "I'm never talking to you again, Sensei," Amamiya began processing the documents.

Perhaps because Christmas has just passed and New Year's Day is just around the corner... the Federal Student Association has been receiving an unusually heavy workload lately.

'Thankfully, this isn't the strange timeline of the Yamanaka crew, where "New Year's Day has passed and Christmas is just around the corner."'

Feeling a mix of emotions, Amamiya soon heard a sound coming from outside.

...That's quite something.

Realizing the unusually heavy sound of the vehicle, Amamiya temporarily put down her documents and went to the window to look out—

"……tank?"

Amamiya blinked, looking extremely surprised.

...What are you doing?

Has Xia Lai been subjected to an armed attack?!

After a moment of surprise, Amamiya immediately became alert—he truly hadn't expected that a vehicle like a tank could be driven into Xia Lai.

Amamiya was very confident in the safety standards he chose for the construction of the Charlemagne Building.

Kivotos is a war-torn region... and the buildings here should be designed to the highest level of protection.

But confidence doesn't mean... Amamiya is willing to be driven downstairs by a tank at will.

Amamiya, who had prepared his [Paradise Lost] and [Emperor of Destruction] for battle, was astonished to see the tank park in Xia Lai's empty parking space in a way that was almost like a 'drift'.

Then, the tank's access hatch clicked open, and a small head with red hair wearing a military cap poked out.

After looking around for a moment, she retreated back inside.

After waiting for about ten seconds, she poked her head out a second time and climbed out of the hatch.

Then, after climbing out of the hatch, she didn't immediately close it. Instead, she knelt beside the hatch and stretched her hands out towards the inside—

With a 'whoosh', a cute blonde girl with pigtails popped out from under the hatch.

(Don't ask why it's "You girl" or "Luo Li," these two words seem to be sensitive words on Maoke.)

She was wearing a trench coat that resembled Iroha's uniform, with a design similar to a military uniform—although it was the smallest size, it still had very wide, extra-long sleeves on her; and the hem of the coat almost reached the ground.

Her golden eyes were innocent and naive, filled with the bewilderment and curiosity of someone who had never experienced the world.

Its small, bat-like wings and long, black, heart-shaped tail flapped and swayed violently in response to its intense emotional fluctuations.

After she peeked out, Iroha carried her out by her armpits.

Amamiya's eyes widened immediately.

Standing less than 1.3 meters tall, with an endearing physique, and dressed in a mature, extra-long-sleeved 'military uniform' that belies its small size; plus those devilish little wings and a heart-shaped tail resembling that of a succubus...

...How could there be such an adorable little thing in Kivotos?!

[Assistant: Ibuki Tanka / The Future Demon Emperor of the Demon King's Castle]

Arcana: The Sun (XIX.The Sun)

[Assistance Relationship: Not Unlocked]

'Future Demon Emperor…'

This title is quite interesting.

Amamiya was not surprised that the opponent held the 'Sun' Arcana—her extremely unique temperament and refreshing feeling were exactly what the 'Sun' card represented.

But this title... is worth discussing.

The title 'Future Demon Emperor' sounds a bit abnormal, and it doesn't quite match Arcana's adorable charm...

This reminded Amemiya of a certain Yu-Gi-Oh! card that was also known as the "Future Emperor".

【Dragon Maid - Cleaning Up the Dragon Girl】(She's the future Dragon Emperor!.jpg)

Perhaps... Ibuki's role is similar?

Don't let their cute appearance fool you; they may seem easy to bully... but if you actually do, the chain reaction that might follow is anyone's guess.

After ensuring the tank's safety, the two unique visitors from the 'Pandemon Hall' quickly entered the Xia Lai Building.

'Ding~'

As the elevator came to a soft stop, Amamiya heard a cheerful, jumping sound followed by steady footsteps in the corridor.

With a creak, the door was gently pushed open.
